"The Apple announcement this week about iBooks Author - the new app that will allow anyone to create and distribute multimedia interactive books has been a long time coming. The initial introduction of PDF documents and then ePub documents into iBooks was always a stop gap measure because of the limitations of each of the individual formats. Anyone could produce these documents but they did not really live up to the promise of what we knew was possible. I knew what we could create in Pages but I was unable to reproduce this in an interactive format to distribute to my students on iBooks."
Best Free iPad App of the Week: Frequency - iPad Insight - 12 views
-
"This week's pick is Frequency. Frequency is described on its App Store page as 'your personal video service'. It's another excellent, social and highly customizable video app for the iPad. This is rapidly becoming a category where iPad users are spoiled for choice - and that's a very good thing given how crummy the selection is on TV these days."

-
"The big news this week is that the Olympics are starting. The Olympic flame will be lit on July 27 and will burn until Aug. 12. To celebrate this important event, I wanted to do a special App Synergy article. Since the Olympics only occur once every four years, I decided to do four how-to uses, instead of the usual one. Spanning many different categories of apps from social media, to lifestyle, to news, each use will cover a specific aspect of need. Here is how to maximize your Olympic enjoyment."

During that time, we taught five iPad workshops ranging from Leveraging iPads, Laptops, and other Digital Tools to Create Differentiated Learning Environments to The iPad Classroom to iPads, ePubs, & iBooks Author. We often say that we learn as much from our participants as they learn from us. To prove it, we've compiled a Top 10 List of what we learned this summer."
What Every Teacher Needs to Know about the iPad Initiatives in Schools… - Teachers with Apps - 10 views
-
"This past week I spent three days in iPad training, as every student in 6th, 7th, and 8th grader, in the district I work in, will be carrying their own iPad. All instruction will be geared toward this initiative. Huge changes are coming our way and I have to wonder if we, as teachers, are ready for how instruction will be delivered and assignments will be collected."
App Synergy: How To Sleep With Your Apps -- AppAdvice - 2 views
-
"I've spent many nights testing apps. Many of those nights became the next day. As much as I love my iDevices, they can sometimes hinder my sleep. It's hard to put down a device with a beautiful Retina display. Fortunately, app synergy is versatile. Yes, it often keeps me up at night. For this week, however, it also put me to sleep. Here is how your iPad or iPhone can serve you, even when it's time to put them down."
iPads in my classroom « Farmer's Class - 1 views
-
"My school was lucky enough to get a class set of iPads (unless you have a class with over 30 students), and I was lucky enough to be the one in charge of looking after them. Since I am the one in charge of them and the one who really pushed to get them, it seems necessary that I make the most out of these devices. To do this, I have made them a daily part of my grade 12 class, and am currently using them daily with my grade 9 and 10 locally developed class. It has been about three weeks since the start of the semester and the start of my use of iPads in the classroom so I thought I would take the time to reflect on them."
iPads at Burley: Poetry Publishing on the iPads - 0 views
-
"We're in the heart of our unit on poetry. My students have learned several strategies that poets use including repetition, onomatopoeia, alliteration, visual imagery and line breaks. This week a few students wanted to draft their poems on the iPad. We had not tried this before, so I decided to let my students "have a go."
Best Free iPad App of the Week: NPR Music - iPad Insight - 6 views
-
"This week's pick is NPR Music for iPad, which offers a superb mix of music from a range of good genres, music news, articles, reviews, interviews, live concerts and exclusive streams and lots more. The App Store page for NPR Music touts it as 'your guide to new music' and 'love at first listen'. And happily, the app nicely lives up to those big promises."
Create, View, Edit Microsoft Documents on the iPad | iGo With My iPad - 4 views
-
"Last week, there was a lot of press around a possible 'Microsoft Office' for the iPad. Microsoft said they had no announcement but they didn't deny anything either. People are getting excited about taking their Office documents with them on the iPad. This is interesting for us because we have been… for years!"
